Quarter Bin Reviews Velocity #1

As the story opens, we’re introduced to Carin Taylor, aka Velocity. She’s confident, witty, and most obviously, fast. Velocity’s backstory isn’t terribly important this issue, but Marz gives you just enough of what you need to know in order to get a quick grasp of the character and the world she lives in. The first issue centers around a plot by a jealous scientist who used to work at the company that gave Carin her cybernetic implants, and his plan to destroy her and her Cyberforce teammates with a uniquely programmed virus. By the time Carin finds all of this out though, everyone has already been infected, and has merely an hour left to live, setting up the next three issues, which will all take place within that hour. Don’t worry though, Velocity’s fast. She can make it.
